Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
While batting, he was plucky and would seldom go down without a fight. While the fast bowlers hurled bouncers at him, his trademark stroke would be the slash over the slip cordon - a shot he perfected so nicely that opposition captains would often place a fly slip just to counter this stroke. While he had tremendous success in Tests, the same couldn't be replicated in ODIs where he struggled to get going. Even his red-ball career got into a muddle when he was strangely dropped for the Ashes tour in 1981. A couple of years later, on Australia's first ever tour of Sri Lanka, Yardley shone with a five-wicket haul but was shockingly never picked again after that game. After retirement, he was an active commentator and became Sri Lanka's coach in 1997. A huge admirer of Muttiah Muralitharan, it was Yardley's advice that saw the Sri Lankan adding the 'Doosra' to his repertoire. Yardley was a loyal servant of Western Australia, having been a long-serving Regional Cricket Officer of the association for years
